Jeanette Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Can anyone here identify this fossil? I am new to this fossil hunting and trying to learn more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 It might be a piece of turtle bone. Would need to see a good close up of the broken part to make sure it actually is bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingAlongToo Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I don't get a turtle feel. If it's bone, its well polished.

abyssunder Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 It looks like turtle peripheral plate.

Harry Pristis Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'd call it a water turtle marginal (from the carapace). http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
